Broken Bells Ring Loud And Clear

Today is a big week for Broken Bells, the brainchild of Danger Mouse of Gnarles Barkley and James Mercer of The Shins. The music video to their single “The High Road” debuted today and also happens to be iTunes free download of the week!

I’d say it’s one of the best songs I’ve heard this year. An enchanting dose of Sci-fi, whimsy and mystery. The ethereal melodies mixed with James Mercer’s unequivocal voice are a bewitching combination.

The two decided to collaborate back in 2004, and in 2008 started writing and recording in the studio. Now the Broken Bells knell the release of the album on March 9.
